Agosto de 1936, al comienzo de la Guerra Civil Española. Un joven pastor andaluz recoge a un hombre fusilado al que sus verdugos han dado por muerto, y le busca refugio en un asilo. El herido, debido a los disparos, ha quedado reducido a un estado semivegetal. En 1980, el pastor vuelve a encontrar su pista: ahora es un anciano que recorre las calles de Granada malviviendo de limosnas… Un hecho fortuito reaviva su memoria muerta, y el viejo pastor se obstina en averiguar su auténtica personalidad. Poco a poco, la investigación le lleva a vislumbrar que el anciano pudo haber sido una persona importante antes de la guerra.

Joaquin comes back to Granada in the eighties trying to find out about something happened when he was a child and the Spanish Civil War was going on. He helped an unknown man who survived after being executed. He finds the man, Galapago, who is now quite old, poor and with almost no memory. Joaquin takes care of him and tries to find out the old man’s true identity. Galapago could have been a very important person before the war.
